ANYONE APPLIED FOR LIFE INSURANCE SINCE THE SLEEVE?



Recommended Posts

I asked my term LIFE INSURANCE agent with Met Life whether or not I would be rated higher since I had the Sleeve and lost most of my weight? She never told me the answer.\

BC I was rated as standard bc of my weight before, she thought that now I lost it I might qualify for a better rating.

Does anyone know the answer?

I heard private health insurance companies won't accept you if you had any WLS. But she says life insurance is different than health in the way that they look at things

Curious if anyone knows the answer to this. I might need to change my insurance at some point. A doctor (not mine) said to lie! But I think that is sorta risky, and plus I already told my PCP so it is in my health history.

Hi, I haven't tried for life insurance but if they were to reject you because of the sleeve that would mean they turn down all WLS and they are not doing that. I have private health care self pay they did not approve my surgery but they still cover me with no exemptions I even see their bariatric doctor for long term follow up.

I asked mine who's with Transamerica if I could rewrite mine when I lose the weight. He said absolutely and I quit smoking in October so he said to wait till October and get both discounts. It will cut my premium from 125 a month to 55. That's alot of savings.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
